Within the clouds, it was like tearing down a house. Any place that could hide people was forcefully smashed open if it could not be opened. Many walls were forcefully smashed open.
Very quickly, the interior of the Gold Squandering Den was in shambles.
"Get out of the way!"
An angry shout came from the street. The soldiers blocking the street entrance were pushed aside. Hao Yun Sheng limped over, accompanied by his entourage.
Facing the king of the west courtyard, without military orders, the soldiers were put in a difficult position. This was His Majesty's younger brother. They did not know if they should stop him or not. They did not dare to offend him easily.
Seeing the situation before him, Hao Yun Sheng's expression was dark and gloomy under the light of the fire. His eyes were filled with unconcealable rage.
"Prince, you are innocent!"
"Prince, please seek justice for us!"
Seeing that their backer had arrived, one of the prostitutes kneeling on the ground suddenly got up and pushed away the soldiers guarding them. He knelt in the middle of the street and cried out his grievances.
With this cry, a few prostitutes crawled out from their kneeling ranks and cried out their grievances in unison.
The other prostitutes immediately began to weep in response to the prostitutes' cries of injustice. They all turned around and knelt towards Hao Yun Sheng. The streets were filled with cries and complaints.
On the other side, the men who were kneeling were secretly sizing them up. They were quiet. Some even exchanged glances, ready to watch the show.
Looking at the group of people kneeling in front of him, Hao Yun Sheng's cold gaze swept across the surroundings. He shouted angrily, "This is a legal transaction. Who gave you the right to act rashly? Do you have any respect for the law? Get Huyan Wuhen to come see me! "
As soon as he finished speaking, groups of archers suddenly appeared from the windows on both sides of the street.
The sound of bowstrings breaking through the air rang out. A rain of arrows came down.
Hao Yun Sheng jumped in fright. The mages behind him rushed forward and cast a spell to protect him.
However, the rain of arrows was only aimed at Hao Yun Sheng. They did not shoot at Hao Yun Sheng. Instead, the people kneeling in front of Hao Yun Sheng screamed.
"Ah …"
The dozen or so prostitutes who had just run out to cry out their grievances fell to the ground amidst their screams. They were shot like porcupines and instantly fell into a pool of blood.
After the sound of the bow and the screams, the scene fell into a dead silence. The girls who were crying along with them just now were trembling. They were scared out of their wits, and no one dared to shout anymore.
On the other side, the men who were kneeling on the side were so scared that they shrunk their necks. Their faces were ugly and they felt as if their souls had left their bodies. They were no longer in the mood to watch the show. They began to worry if the Valiant Cavalry would start a massacre.
Hao Yun Sheng was truly frightened. At that moment, he even mistakenly thought that someone was going to take the opportunity to kill him.
A figure had suddenly appeared in the passageway ahead of him. Hao Yunsheng thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. When the person slowly walked over and saw who it was, his pupils shrank.
Cha Hu suddenly appeared and walked over. He stopped in front of the group of corpses on the ground and glanced at the broken leg. "A dignified Prince actually appeared in public to stand up for a whorehouse. It's not nice, and it's absurd!"
Hao Yunsheng waved his sleeve and pointed at them. He said angrily, "Mobilizing the army in the capital, are you trying to rebel?"
Cha Hu said, "Don't randomly accuse me. There's naturally a reason for mobilizing the army. The Prince has no right to interfere with military affairs. Interfering with military affairs without permission is a capital offense. Please leave quickly."
Hao Yunsheng said, "Let Huyan Wuhen come and see me!"
Cha Hu crossed his arms over his abdomen. Slowly, he said, "Prince, the Great General has ordered that anyone who dares to obstruct military affairs will be killed!" As he spoke, he looked coldly at the mages beside Hao Yunsheng and raised his eyebrows.
As soon as he said that, a group of archers at the windows on both sides of the building nocked their arrows again. They turned their weapons and aimed at Hao Yunsheng.
After Cha Hu and Hao Yunsheng's mages looked at each other, they seemed to be slightly guilty and whispered a few words into Hao Yunsheng's ear.
In the end, Hao Yunsheng flicked his sleeve and turned around to leave. His expression was very ugly.
The reason why the descendants of the royal family liked to fight for the throne was not just because of power. It was because the people under power were too realistic. Without power, there would be no dignity. For example, Hao Yunsheng left with shame and anger. It was not a good feeling to be humiliated in public.
…
Ding Ling!
A bell rang. This time, even Yuan Gang could hear it clearly.
He could faintly hear the bell ringing in front. Su Zhao raised it but did not notice anything unusual. He thought it was an illusion.
The two people who were galloping under the starry sky urgently stopped their horses. They looked at each other and jumped off their mounts. They headed towards the direction of the ringing bell to search.
Not long after, the two of them found a bell on a small plant.
The bell was not a big deal. The key was a thread connected to the bell. Yuan Gang quickly followed the thread and found that the thread was broken.
Su Zhao immediately released the Moon Butterfly and searched along the broken end of the silk thread. Soon, he found another broken end of the silk thread on the other side of the grassland. He followed it, but he still couldn't find the end of it even after a distance of over a thousand feet.
She did not dare to waste too much time. She returned with the thread. The two of them looked at their horses and turned back to look in the direction they came from.
It was obvious that the thread had been tripped by their mounts, which triggered the ringing of the bell.
In this way, it meant that the bell Su Zhao heard was not wrong. It was just that the distance between the broken thread and the bell was different. Some could be heard clearly and some could not.
The two of them did not know how many threads they had broken along the way. Not to mention the fact that they could not see it at night, even if it was daytime, who would be able to discover such a thin thread hidden in the grass if it was tripped by a horse's hoof?
Yuan Gang soon realized that it was not easy to find people in the vast grassland. This was probably a military method used by the Valiant Cavalry Army to find targets in the grassland. They might be disturbed by other animals and people, but the Valiant Cavalry Army must have a set of screening methods.
"The Valiant Cavalry must have found our general direction!" Yuan Gang's expression was solemn.
The reason was simple. The people who wanted to capture them would not randomly set up this thing in the vast grassland. No matter how simple it was, they would not be able to handle it.
Su Zhao asked, "How can you be sure it is the military? Is it possible that someone else set it up? "
Yuan Gang vigilantly looked around and said, "This thing looks simple, but it is not something that can be done with a small number of people. It is also not something that can be done with high cultivation. To play a warning role, it must be a set of large-scale operations. This must be a military early warning method. Other people do not have such manpower and organizational ability."
Su Zhao nodded thoughtfully. She also understood why Yuan Gang was sure that it was the Valiant Cavalry. Naturally, it was because of the Huyan family. However, she could not help but look at Yuan Gang a few more times.
"Put away the moon butterfly and change direction. Let's go!" Yuan Gang called out.
The two of them immediately ran to their horses. They turned their mounts and galloped in another direction.
"No wonder you were able to hide from Huyan Wuhen's eyes. Even I had almost mistakenly believed that you were from the army. You've put in a lot of effort in order to get close to the Huyan Clan!" Su Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
It was not only because of what happened just now. Along the way, in order to get rid of the pursuers, she had already noticed that Yuan Gang seemed to have a good understanding of the military.
Yuan Gang did not explain.
After about the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the two of them, who were galloping in the night, had a slight change in their expressions. They looked back and faintly heard a large number of hoofbeats.
The thundering hoofbeats were getting closer and closer. The two of them rushed up a hillside and looked back. They saw a long black shadow under the moonlight chasing them all the way. There was also the shadow of the moon butterfly.
With so many cavalrymen, it was hard not to believe that they were from the Valiant Cavalry.
Yuan Gang quickly pointed in a direction and said, "You go that way. After you reach Green Mountain County, tell Daoye about the situation. Daoye will naturally distinguish right from wrong and arrange a good place for you. He will not mistreat you!"
Su Zhao became anxious, "I am not going. If we go, we go together."
Yuan Gang said, "You leave first and find a way to contact Daoye. If Daoye takes action, there is a possibility of saving me. Their target is me. If you stay with me, no one will be able to leave! "
Su Zhao flatly refused, "I am not going!"
In her eyes, Yuan Gang was an ordinary man. She could help and protect him with her presence, but she could not accept leaving Yuan Gang behind and running away alone.
With such a delay, the two of them could not leave even if they wanted to. The cavalry behind them was very skillful, not something the two of them could compare with. In a short while, they caught up with them. Their momentum was astonishing and it was as if they were going to sweep the vast land.
The cavalry suddenly changed their formation and split into two, forming a 'V' shape for a pincer attack.
Among them, a small group of more than a hundred people sped up and rushed out. In the night, it seemed that only the horses could be seen galloping to their heart's content, but not the people. More than a hundred people were all stuck to the backs of the horses, and they were still able to fire arrows at such a fast speed. Suddenly, the sound of bowstrings rang out and a wave of fire whizzed from one side.
Although it did not hit the two of them, it forced them to change their direction and force them to chase after them with fire arrows.
Not long after, Yuan Gang realized that the other party was not chasing after them, but forcing them to a certain direction.
By the time they reacted, it was already too late. Under the night sky, they could see a few moon butterflies flying in front of them, and below the moon butterflies was a long black shadow, like a wall.
It was difficult for Yuan Gang and Su Zhao not to go in that direction, and they were chased after by a pincer attack.
Suddenly, the black wall lit up with a large number of torches, and a dense group of cavalry blocked in front of them.
Among the cavalry that blocked the way, a large number of people nocked their bows and aimed their arrows at them, and a rain of arrows would descend at any time.
The cavalry that was chasing them gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
Yuan Gang and Su Zhao were affected by this momentum, and the rhythm of their escape was involuntarily controlled.
When the two of them stopped and looked around, they found that they were surrounded by the army, and there were cavalry holding torches everywhere.
The commander of the cavalry waved his hand, and the drawn bows and arrows loosened, and the arrows that were aimed at them were lowered.
On the left and right of the commander, there were several followers, and from their clothes, it was obvious that they were cultivators from the three major sects.
Yuan Gang picked up his Zhanmadao, and Su Zhao pulled out his sword, both of them vigilantly looking around.
However, the cavalry that surrounded them did not have any intention of attacking, nor did they have any intention of letting them go. They did not make a sound, as if they wanted to surround them, and as if they were waiting for something.
The two of them who were trapped did not dare to act rashly, as they could not figure out the strength of the other party's followers. If it was just the cavalry, they would still dare to charge forward.
